The vote of censure is unsuccessful
www.fcbarcelona.cat
‘Yes’ was the majorities’ choice, but it didn’t quite reach the 66% that the Statute requires for the vote of censure to be successful.
With 100% of the votes now counted, the results of the vote of censure held today, Sunday the 6 th of July, were the following: 23,870 votes in favour (60.60%), 14,871 against (37.75%), 540 protest votes (1.37%) and 108 null and void (0.27%).
Not quite the necessary 66.6%
These results are insufficient for the vote of censure to go ahead, since the statutes of the club clearly state, in Article 49.5, “a vote of censure will only be approved on obtaining two thirds or more of the votes cast”. The votes in favour were 60.60% of the total but didn’t surpass the 66.6% necessary.
As a consequence of these results, the present Board of Directors can continue with their responsibilities until the end of this term, in 2010.
